Yeah its pretty good... and pretty good Ethiopan is better than most restaurants around Culver City / Mar Vista... so if you are in the neighborhood you can't go wrong... but I agree Messob & company are quite a bit better.

No, nothing in or around Santa Monica -- Culver City is the closest. With a few notable exceptions, the Westside is not a destination for authentic "ethnic" dining. For that you need to head to less, er, massively overpriced areas such as lower Mid-City, the SFV and the SGV.

Dude, you live near the best Ethiopian restaurant in the United States, make the drive! If you lived in NY or Chicago or Seattle, you would have to fly into LAX AND drive all the way to Fairfax to get the best. You just have to get in your car. Meals by Genet.
